TIE BoHcoTrED CARPETS.
The Local Dealers Have Received NO No
tice Yet from the X. of L.

A SUNDAY MORNING News reporter inter
viewed a number of the leading furniture
dealers in the city yesterday for the pur-
pose of ascertsining what effect the strike
IN Higgins carpet mandatory, in New
York, would have in their handling that
make of carpets. All those who were seen
were confident that the strike will not last
long, and that the strike will not affect the
business, as they think the trouble is
merely between the men themselves, and
not betv cen them and the firm. When the
reporter asked Mr.. Moriarity, the manager
Of Mullins & Co. 8 store, his views of the
case, he said that he had received no COM
munication from the Knights of Labor on
the subject, and he does not expect to re-
celye any. He said the firm had large
stock OF the Higgins carpets on hand, and
they propose to sell them. He further said
that all the dealers who can get the carpets
do SO, as they are the best made,
At Hoos d Schulz furniture warehouse
he was told that the firm have received no
notice from the Knights, and as Mr.. Hoos
was not In the city, the manager could not
say what would be done in case a demand
to discontinue to handle the goods was
made.
Mr.. P. H. Hanly informed the scribe
that ne had not heard from the Knights,
and he did not want to hear from them,
and he would sell what he chose, and he
knew where the money was. He is of the
op inion that if any Of the delegates come to
this city their reception will be rather
frigid
Henry Thompson said that he has hand
led the Higgins carpets ever since he first
went into business, and he will continue TO
sell them, as they are the best made, and
he has about 5000 worth on had now
He has not heard from the Knights and he
does not want to have anything to do with
them. He considers it a fight to see who
will get to the top of the heap.

Great Crowd Greets Him in the Fourth
District.

The audience which met at Kessler s
Hall, Central Avenue, last night to listen

who introduced Mr.. George to the audi
ence. The address was similar in tenor to
his previous ones on the same subject. He
said at the outset that he would be pleased
to have those in the audience who wished
to ask him questions on the subject In
hand, and the permission was taken adj
vantage of to the fullest extent The adj
dress was good and was well delivered,
much to the satisfaction of his hearers.
He handled the subject in MASTER
ly manner, and reviewed it from
every standpoint. Among the things that
he said were: That the entire water front
of the city is taken up by two or three vast
corporations. He said that which was
created by God belonged to all equally.
He enlarged upon the difficulties which
the poor man has to contend with, and he
added that if the cut-throat competition
could be done away with, there would be
no poverty, and the poor man would not
have to sell his little home. He said that
If all the tenants left New York
there would be no hope for the real estate
owner. The meeting was closed at 10:l5
with three cheers Tor Henry George and
three for DR.. McGlynn. Mr. George left
for New York, where he intended to go to
another meeting. at the close meeting

Police Justice Stilsiag yesterday morning
aud asked for a warrant for the arrest of
her stepdaughter, Emma Prescott, whom

A dispatch published in the papers the
other day stated that Rev. Mendl, Catho

ceive the BODY of a dead woman into his
church for burial service, because she
had not been a church member The clip
ping was shown to Mr.. James W. Donelan,
who is conspicuous in Catholic circles, last
evening, and he was asked for information
as to whether there is any such rule in the
Catholic Church, whether it is enforced.
and how consistent a church member q
Catholic has to be to have burial in a
church.
Mr.. Donelan informed the reporter that
Bishop Wigger made the rule, and in his
address in St. Marys Church last Deem
Der spoke Of the rule. Mr.. Donelan said
that Father Mendl did right in taking tn 9
stand that he did. as he only enforced the
rule which the Bishop made for the gov
eminent of the diocese in that particular.
Father Hanly, pastor of st. Bridget's r.
G. Church, told a NEWS reporter last night,
that in case person does not attend mass
regularly for at least six months prior to
death he will lot allow the remains to n
ter his church. The rule of the Bishop is
that if the person does not do his or her
duty, the body must not enter the church
but can be buried in the cemetery. This
is however, he declared, matter tina. is
within the option of the priests; and it was
stated in other quarters that Rev. Faith ers
Hennessy and Seton are strict in enforc-
ing the rule, bat that Rev. Father De Con-
clio is less exacting.

And Asks Judge Knapp to Certiorari the
Aldermen.

Corporation Counsel Seymour yesterday
made application to Judge Knapp for
writ of certiorari, based upon the article
published in the SUNDAY MORNING NEWS.
of last Sunday, relating to the 1e6th ballot
cast by the Board of Adorned for the
election of a president. The Republicans
claim that upon that ballot Max Salinger
received majority OF the votes
cast and charge the Democrats
with having struggled one of the
votes for the purpose of defeating his
election. Judge Knapp granted the ap-
plication and issued rule requiring the
Board of Aldermen to show cause WHY
they should not recognize Mr.. Salinger as
President of the Board and why Alderman
Reardon should not vacate the position of
temporary chairman.
It is understood that Alderman Schultz
has been rendered the Office of President

Tho Top Of washington Monume,

Tho Top Of Washington Monument.
The construction of a suitable apex
called forth much discussion and a
number of plans. It was first suggest-
ed to roof over the structure with a
framework Of iron and glass, but it
was thought that the chemical action
of the weather on the metal would dis
color the face of the walls. The de-
sign for a marble pyramidion fifty-ive
feet in height, submitted by Bernard
r. Green, civil engineer, was finally
adopted. Twelve stone ribs a foot
thick, three on each side of the walls,
40 feet from the base. AS these are
carried upward, the ribs nearest the
angle of the shaft meet in the hips Of
the spyramidion, while those in the
center of each face are connected still
higher up by voussior stones, forming
two arches i~ntersecting each other at
right angles. The thrust Of each corner
rib is transmitted to its opposite by the
use Of horizontal stones between their
upper extremities. The b%uttresses sups
port the roof covering of marble slabs,
about seven inches thick. The cap
stone is tipped with an aluminium
pyramid. which is connected by a cop
per roody with four lightning-rods
passing to the upper extremities of the

grounded in the well in the center Of

History of Modern Shorthand.

The tercentenary of the introduc-
ton Of modern shorthand has just
been celebrated in London by an in
ternational congress of shorthand
writers. WHAT'S called modern short
hand originated with Timothy Bright,
an M. D. Of Cambridge, practicing in
London, and subsequently rector of a
parish to which he was presented by
Queen Elizabeth. It 1886 he published
st. Paul's Epistle to Titus in his system
of shorthand, and a.year later he pub
lished the system itself. It 1859
"Mistress Jane Seager, Virgin" pub
lished a volume of ten poems, called
"The Prophecies of the Sibylls," in
Bright's system, and dedicated it to
"The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth" So
far as is known these are the first
books ever published in any system Of
shorthand. There are now $50 differ
emit systems in existence. This year
is also the jubilee Of the introduction
in 1887 of the system Of Isaac Pitman,
which first popularized shorthand, and
the congress celebrated that event.
The earl Of Rosebery was president Of
the congress, and the lord mayor had
its members to luncheon at the Man
sion house.--NeW York San.

The court meets at noon. In the
robing room adjacent to the court
room, each member before making
his appearance puts on a black silk
robe which completely covers his per-

the door of the court room the United

rian tones: 1.-THE Honorable, the Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices Of

from behind a screen appears slowly,
the chief justice and associates, taking
their places in the order of seniority to
the right or left Of the chief justice.
The members of the bar present arise
as the court files in and when it's men,
bers are seated the bench and bar sa-
lutte each other with a profound bow.
Then the Marshal's voice is heard:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez; the Honorable, the
Supreme Court of the United States is
now assembled in session. God
preserve the United States of Amer
lea. Let order be preser we'd" Instantly
quiet reigns, and the clerk begins to
